and not a single defense was played back in the day
NBA couldn't stand the Pistons dominating everyone with hard defense.Wilt was so dominant the rules had to be changed to make things tougher for him
The rules were changed to make things easier for MJ
don't forget these facts
What do you get when you combine the Tim Duncan bank shot with the Dirk Nowitzki fadeaway, and put it into the hands of a player that is bigger, faster, and stronger? You get the Wilt Chamberlain Fadeaway
did allowing palming make the game easier for Jordan?he said rules were changed to make the game easier for jordan.
that rep says it alland not a single defense was played back in the day
fixedi took a couple things from this
- wilt chamberlain should receive more credit
- it's a shame the NBA distorts history by only focusing on footage after19921980
Not Bob Ryan, but I wouldn't mind picking his brain I saw an interview where he described the draft picks some random season in the 60's and 70's. Knew about guys that didn't even end up having pro careers. I don't think anyone can really know an era unless they have a good understanding of everyone in the league top to bottom, even the prospects who couldn't make it.
I remember debating with somebody on here about 2 years ago regarding the "Dirk" fadeaway. I told the muscle headed niqqa that Wilt was the first 7 footer that I saw doing the so called "Dirk". The "Dirk" is really the "Wilt", but you know how thIngs go, the new generation behave like they invented it all. It's just recycled brehs. Pay homage to Wilt da Gawd. @dantheman9758 thank you for providing the proof for my claim.
